[Bug 1556143] Re: fail to upgrade fuse in xenial, in lxd

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

I am really confused about:

		if [ ! -e /dev/fuse ]
		then
			if [ -x /sbin/MAKEDEV ]
			then
				echo "Creating fuse device..."

				cd /dev
				MAKEDEV fuse
				chmod 0666 /dev/fuse
			else
				echo "MAKEDEV not installed, skipping device node creation."
			fi
		fi


as far as I understand /dev/fuse is automatically created by kernel/udev what not, so it shouldn't be created with makedev. If it's not there, it's not there....
